The flaw in the ointment is that the average person doesn't have the money to hire a skilled attorney to fight the "red flag" accusation in court. Those people with "red flags' AND money will be able to get their gun.
Also, Red Flag Laws are not just for mass shooting... their main purpose is to flag someone temporarily if their is reasonable suspicion they may harm themselves or someone else. It takes further action to permanently remove their access to guns
Mostly, guns have been removed from people who were seen as threats to themselves or to their families, or who were suffering from judgment-impairing illnesses like dementia or alcoholism, rather than posing a threat to to large groups or public gatherings.
